Wolbachia divergence and the evolution of cytoplasmic incompatibility in Culex pipiens.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Many insect species harbor Wolbachia bacteria that induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), i.e. embryonic lethality in crosses between infected males and uninfected females, or between males and females carrying incompatible Wolbachia strains.

Cytoplasmic incompatibility in Australian populations of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

Genetics, 1994
Abstract In Drosophila melanogaster, weak incompatibility in crosses between infected and uninfected strains is associated with a Wolbachia microorganism. Crosses between infected males and uninfected females show a reduction (15-30%) in egg hatch. Progeny tests indicated that the infection is widespread in Australian D.

Should Symbionts Be Nice or Selfish? Antiviral Effects of Wolbachia Are Costly but Reproductive Parasitism Is Not. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Symbionts can have mutualistic effects that increase their host's fitness and/or parasitic effects that reduce it. Which of these strategies evolves depends in part on the balance of their costs and benefits to the symbiont.

Wolbachia-induced unidirectional cytoplasmic incompatibility and speciation: mainland-island model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Bacteria of the genus Wolbachia are among the most common endosymbionts in the world. In many insect species these bacteria induce a sperm-egg incompatibility between the gametes of infected males and uninfected females, commonly called unidirectional ...

ON THE EVOLUTION OF CYTOPLASMIC INCOMPATIBILITY IN HAPLODIPLOID SPECIES [PDF]

Evolution, 2002
The most enigmatic sexual manipulation by Wolbachia endosymbionts is cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI): infected males are reproductively incompatible with uninfected females. In this paper, we extend the theory on population dynamics and evolution of CI, with emphasis on haplodiploid species.

Wolbachia variability and host effects on crossing type in Culex mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2005
Wolbachia is a common maternally inherited bacterial symbiont able to induce crossing sterilities known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) in insects1, 2.

The Wolbachia cytoplasmic incompatibility enzyme CidB targets nuclear import and protamine-histone exchange factors

eLife, 2019
Intracellular Wolbachia bacteria manipulate arthropod reproduction to promote their own inheritance. The most prevalent mechanism, cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), traces to a Wolbachia deubiquitylase, CidB, and CidA.

Dengue control measures via cytoplasmic incompatibility and modern programming tools

Results in Physics, 2021
The vector borne diseases share a high percentage of the annual deaths reported by the world health organization. Due to the involvement of multiple factors and resistance of the vector to the treatment strategies, it is highly desired to design a safe ...

Ankyrin repeat domain-encoding genes in the wPip strain of Wolbachia from the Culex pipiens group [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Wolbachia are obligate endosymbiotic bacteria maternally transmitted through the egg cytoplasm that are responsible for several reproductive disorders in their insect hosts, such as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) in infected mosquitoes ...
